Chapter 2011 wants to attack and defend first

The offensive of the German army on the southern front was carried out on the 12th Hans. Feng. When Marshal Zarmut led the main forces to the junction of Akashat and Lutbay, it suddenly became fierce. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info// "" // (no / pop-up window wide / full text)

Marshal Zalmut, who lacked supplies, divided his six armies into three directions, of which the 30th and 54th armies were responsible for continuing the attack on the Gudjing line, striving to take this vital water source as soon as possible, and then flanking around the rear of Lutbai; The 11th Army and the 39th Motorized Corps stormed the frontal line; The 57th Motorized Corps and the Romanian Cavalry Corps were tasked with attacking the left flank, aiming directly at Akaschat.

Akashat was once a well-known border town, and the nearby mountains were once home to more than a dozen artesian wells, the source of the Saywaja wakan, a tributary of the Euphrates, where traders have settled to replenish water and food supplies since ancient times. Later, as the groundwater dried up and the effects of the Iran-Iraq and Iraq wars, Akashat gradually declined, only to reluctantly retain a small town of only a few hundred people because of the huge phosphate deposits nearby, and lost its former glory.

But for the people of this era, Akashat was a large town with four or five thousand inhabitants, the difference is that according to the agreements signed with the countries of West Asia, during the war, the railway line was the territory of South China, and most of the residents in the town were Chinese who served the war, plus the large camps built for the tens of thousands of troops stationed in succession before and after the outbreak of the war, it was already a medium-sized city in the Lianghe region in terms of scale.

After the future peace, it will be returned to the state of Qatar with Rutbay as its capital, and of course it has now become an important target for the German army, after all, in the case of other routes, it is still important to obtain a water source, seize the railway to Ghaiem, and then enter the rear of the Euphrates defense line of the Anjia army.

The first line of defence in defense of Akassar was in the area of the well of Mulusi, more than ten kilometers south of the town, which was also an extremely important source of water, and the spring water left on the mountain at an altitude of more than 200 meters flowed northward to form the Terfat River, which also emptied into the Euphrates.

The 211th and 212th Infantry Regiments of the 49th Division of the 17th Group Army, the Akashat Frontier Division, and three artillery battalions are responsible for the defense of this line, and at the same time, the 216th Tank Regiment of the 50th Armored Division is used as a mobile force, and Major General Liang Zihua, commander of the 49th Division, is in charge of the defense of this line.

Before today's battle began, the group army urgently dispatched five rocket artillery battalions equipped with 130-mm 19-barrel rocket launchers to strengthen the artillery strike capability, and Liang Zihua assigned the five rocket artillery battalions to the artillery regiment for unified command.

Liang Zihua once served as An Yi's confidential secretary, and after being delegated to the troops, he successively served as regiment commander, division chief of staff, deputy division commander, and now serves as the commander of the 49th Division of the 17th Group Army.

At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, Liang Zihua received an early warning from the air force, and a large German army attacked Mulusijing with great momentum.

Half an hour later, Liang Zihua saw through the lookout of the headquarters that the southern horizon was dusty, and black spots appeared, and the black spots were getting closer and closer, and finally they could be clearly seen through the telescope - the tank group with the symbol of "Iron Cross" was driving in front, and the armored vehicles were close behind, and the three-wheeled motorcycles were mixed in and rolling in the direction of the position.

Liang Zihua turned around and said to the communications staff officer: "The Germans are here, tell the commander of the regiment, aim and fight, don't let go of an enemy!" ”

On the artillery position, the commander of the artillery regiment, Colonel Ma Inshun, quickly set the ruler, and after the German tanks entered the firing range, he quickly gave the order to shoot, and a 75-mm cannon fired rapidly, and immediately several German tanks caught fire and did not move, but most of the tanks still charged at full speed and fired back.

A row of shells fell on the artillery position, the telephone lines between the artillery command post and the division headquarters and the various artillery positions were blown up, the correspondent immediately activated the walkie-talkie, and the regimental commander Ma remained silent, while sending the correspondent to check the line, while continuing to direct the operation, the shells of both sides staggered through the air, fell to the ground, and the fire flashed, emitting a huge roar, and for a time the entire battlefield was filled with gunsmoke.

Several armored vehicles in the German formation were shot and caught fire, and the German soldiers sitting in the cars screamed out of the smoke and ran to the rear. The German soldiers, who had left their cars ahead of time to accompany the attack of tanks and armored vehicles, were hit by shrapnel from the continuous falling shells and fell to the ground one by one.

At this time, several German tanks had rushed to the first defensive position built under the hill, and rockets flew out, and German tanks were constantly being shot and burning.

The battle situation was extremely tragic, Liang Zihua found in the command post more than 100 meters above the ground that under the interception of artillery fire, the distance between the armored vehicles and motorcycles behind the German palace and the tank troops that opened the road slowly widened, and the main forces of the German army now lost the cover of the tanks, exposing the weak flanks, so he issued an order on the one hand, organized anti-tank guns and rocket launchers, and cleanly killed the tanks that rushed to the front of the position, and ordered the communication staff officers: "The flanks of the Germans are exposed, order the tank regiment, attack now!" ”

The tank officers and men of the Anjia Army, who were hidden behind the hill, had long been itching when they heard the fierce shelling, and when they heard the order to attack, they immediately set off at full speed, bypassing the direction of the main attack of the German army, and rushed out from the flank.

The Germans were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of more than 100 Leopard II tanks, the formation was cut off, the infantry fled in any direction, motorcycles and armored vehicles turned around to avoid the front of the tanks, and the German tanks rushing in front made mistakes, either extinguished and broke down, or collided together, coupled with the rockets fired by the infantry of the Anjia Army, the entire battle formation of the German army was a mess.

The tank unit of the Anjia Army seized the opportunity to expand the results of the battle and reimbursed more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Qien, commander of the 216th Tank Regiment, was about to order the troops to pursue while he was victorious, when he suddenly felt that the body of the tank he was in was constantly beating with the surrounding land, and experience told him that this was the enemy who had begun to return fire with heavy artillery, and immediately gave an order: "All retreat, withdraw to the hidden ...... behind the hill." Before the words fell, he felt as if the tank had been pushed hard by someone, jumped violently, and then stopped moving.

Seeing this, Zhang Qien decisively ordered to abandon the car, and waited for the five crew members to get out of the car, rushed into the compartment of the armored personnel carrier that accompanied the tank attack, and waited for the armored car to start, Zhang Qien was in the mood to see what was wrong with the tank, and he found that the abandoned tank was hit out of a big black hole in the front, and a large piece of it was blown up around it.

The armored personnel carrier had just driven more than 30 meters away, and another shell hit the top of the immobile tank, and the turret was blown open in an instant, and then the bomb in the ammunition compartment was ignited, and the body exploded violently, and the entire tank was immediately surrounded by raging fire.

The two sides were inseparable, although more than 40 tanks and armored vehicles that attacked the front line were lost, but due to the withdrawal of our tank troops, the follow-up German troops resumed their offensive formation, about ** ten tanks, dragging a stream of dust and smoke, rushed towards the position under the mountain again.

Liang Zihua sneered and said to the communications staff officer: "Tell Regiment Commander Ma that you can give the Germans a bath and let them calm down." ”

After two or three minutes, the underground of the command post trembled suddenly, and then, the officers and men in the front position and the attacking German troops heard a series of terrible howls, as if thousands of people had torn the strips of cloth in their hands at the same time, and then one after another, the dazzling fire dragons pierced the sky and rolled up a wave of heat.

With the surging airflow, wrapped in dead grass and fine sand and gravel, Liang Zihua and several staff officers around him coincidentally took a few steps from the front and back legs of the observation hole at the same time, only to avoid the strong wind that stabbed his face. Before they could gain a foothold, suddenly, like a string of thunderbolts falling from the ground, a lightning-like light shining through the observation hole, illuminated the unusually dimly lit observation site built in the belly of the mountain in an instant.

The roof of the cave and the four walls of the cave "poof" fell with a slip of earth, and almost all of the people's eardrums were "buzzing" with the sound of a huge explosion, and they couldn't hear anything at once.

"Damn, call you German devils, are you convinced?"

Liang Zihua didn't expect that more than 90 rocket launchers from five battalions would be so powerful when they were launched together, so he couldn't help but curse, strode to the observation hole, raised the telescope and took a look, where the shadow of the German army could still be seen?

What had been a dusty place just now had turned into a sea of fire, and the flames rose up to a height of three or four meters, forming a wall of fire from left to right.

Above the firelight, there were thick black smokes, churning upwards, covering the sky and the sun.

With the help of the telescope, Liang Zihua saw that a German tank was blown up, with the track facing the sky, the turret pointing to the ground, like a frog with a bare belly, and another tank not far away, the upper half of the body was blown away, only the part under the track, bare and surrounded by flames, and an armored car, the front of the car was gone, only the rear half was left, and it was burned red by the fire.

Liang Zihua looked around the entire battlefield and made a slight estimate in his heart, just such a salvo would reimburse more than 30 tanks and armored vehicles, especially the blow to the morale of the German army, which was immeasurable.

Seeing the surviving German tanks retreating in a panic, without any formation to speak of, those motorcycles were in a mess, and the infantry scattered and fled, Liang Zihua couldn't help grinning.

Just more than 20 kilometers south of this battlefield and more than 10 kilometers northwest of Lutbay, the German army's offensive on a front of more than 20 kilometers was much more frantic than that of the Muluxijing area, which was geographically advantageous for the Anjia army. The flat terrain of this valley was very conducive to the assault of mechanized troops, so the German 11th Army and the 39th Motorized Army used all their forces to attack in an all-out way from the beginning.

In the first wave of the German charge, more than a hundred tanks were concentrated, and there were some jeeps between the tanks, and two tweeters were fixed on the roofs of these jeeps, and Wagner's music was constantly playing in the horns, and the tanks rumbled in with melodious music, as if they were having a grand military parade, rather than a life-and-death battle.

Ordered to guard this area were the 224th Regiment of the division and the 213th and 214th regiments of the 49th Division under the command of Colonel An Zhixiao, political commissar of the 51st Division, in addition to the 1st Baghdad Garrison Division and 5 artillery battalions to assist in the battle, and the 2 tank regiments of the 50th Armored Division as mobile forces, ready to attack at any time to plug possible loopholes on the battlefield.

The officers and men of Anjia were surprised to see the arrogance of the German army, and their hearts were surging with anger. According to the information conveyed by the army group, yesterday the German army suffered a major defeat west of Goodwell, but I did not expect that the Germans did not have the consciousness of a loser at all, and they were still so high-profile.

As the German tanks got closer and closer, Lieutenant Cai Zhiming, commander of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 224th Regiment, and Lieutenant Liu Hong, the instructor of the 224th Regiment, who were deployed in the front-line positions, decided to divide the six 75-mm anti-tank guns attached to the company into two groups.

As soon as the deployment was completed, the German tanks entered the range of 75 mm cannons, and Cai Zhiming, who was on the right side of the position, asked the soldiers to aim at a No. 3 tank at the front of the formation to shoot, after a cannon sound, the No. 3 tank rose into thick smoke and stopped, and the other two shells fired at the same time broke the track of a No. 4 tank and could only spin in place, and the other No. 2 light tank was shot through the turret and suffered a fierce explosion.

Cai Zhiming was also very surprised by the three hits in one round of shooting, but he didn't dare to continue firing the cannon, so he hurriedly retreated the cannon into the bunker, and then hid in the bunker and didn't dare to move.

At this time, the German tank commander used the radio to inform the tanks of the direction of the artillery fire on the front position from the command vehicle behind, so almost all the tanks turned their guns to the direction where Cai Zhiming was, and then frantically spat out tongues of fire, and the whole formation began to gradually deviate to the right, so that the side was just exposed to Liu Hong's group who was ambushed on the left side of the position.

It was too late, it was too fast, and before the German tank group could fire a second shell, the three 75-mm cannons on this side had already sounded, and only two salvos left four tanks unable to move.

The Germans quickly regrouped, and in the panic, two more tanks went off mines, and the other was plunged headlong into a cleverly camouflaged anti-tank trench.

The remaining tanks were afraid that they would run into mines or fall into traps, leaving behind nine smoking and one immobile tank, and the Germans who were attacking other positions were also beaten back.

After several hours in a row, the German army failed to break through the defensive line led by Colonel An Zhixiao in several attacks, and had to set up camp at dark and began to build a defensive line outside the range of An Jiajun's artillery fire.

In the direction of Goodwell, due to the suppression of the air force and army aviation, coupled with the dense mines and heavy artillery fire, the German army was never able to cross the mountainous area that led to the water source, and the entire southern front was strangely confronted, which was undoubtedly a nightmare for the German army, which lacked supplies, especially water.
